Wolviston are set to travel to revived basement battlers NEW MARSKE for a Teesside derby clash tomorrow looking to bounce straight back.

The Villagers gave as good as they got before losing 2-0 away at third-placed Cleadon last week - a result that saw them slip back to fifth spot - so need to swiftly claw back the ground lost on the leading group.

At Cleadon they leaked an early goal then battered their rivals to no avail before getting hit with a late sucker punch.

"We need to get straight back to winning ways," said Villagers secretary Andy Anderson.

They will be looking to complete a quick-fire double over lowly New Marske.

Wolviston went to Gurney Street in the Shipowners Cup and after some fierce early resistance took control in the last half hour to win 3-0.

"We need to go there and do that again," said Andy. "They defended quite well last time, but once we scored the first that was it."

New Marske may be a bit ring rusty after suffering two frustrating postponements and having a blank weekend.

They have been desperate to play to build on the success of their last outing, a gritty 2-1 win away at Annfield Plain, which lifted them up to third from bottom, but with not playing Willington have moved back above them.

They are looking for their first derby triumph of the season after losing three times to Teesside Athletic and going down to Guisborough Black Swan as well as Wolviston.

GUISBOROUGH BLACK SWAN can close in on the leaders when they go to rock-bottom Harton and Westoe.

Swan leap-frogged Wolviston into fourth place with last week's emphatic 5-2 win over Cleator Moor with former Boro and Marske man Greg Booth scoring two on his home debut.

New boys Swan, who stepped up from the Teesside League in the summer, have won six out of eight games in the league as they find their feet quickly.
